Outside Lu Liang's yard, Liang Dong was still standing there with his hands behind his back.
No one inside came out.
Lu Fang walked up to him, handed the telescope to Liang Dong, and said, "His Royal Highness, you might as well put this object in front of your eyes and take a look."
Liang Dong had never seen a telescope before, so when he saw this new thing, his eyes showed some doubts.
However, he quickly regained his composure and took it casually, "What is this?"
Lu Fang said: "The new thing overseas is called a telescope. It has the miraculous effect of clairvoyance."
Liang Dong was doubtful and raised the telescope in front of his eyes, but he held it upside down.
Lu Fang kindly reminded, "His Royal Highness, you have taken it backwards."
Liang Dong glanced at him, "Does this prince know?"
Lu Fang lowered his head and rolled his eyes.
Liang Dong turned the telescope around and put it in front of his eyes. Finally he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Huh?"
Lu Fang raised his head.
However, he saw Liang Dong regaining his indifferent expression instantly. He was holding the telescope and was reluctant to let go, but he said, "Although this thing of yours is novel, what's the use of it?"
Lu Fang said: "I wonder what your Royal Highness's hobbies are in daily life?"
Liang Dong said: "Hunting, spring outing."
Lu Fang believed that his talent was a ghost.
At first glance, this guy is not a calm person. In a place like Tanzhou, how can he just go hunting? Have fun?
The hunting spring is almost there.
But this obviously cannot be said.
Lu Fang only said: "If it is hunting, His Highness takes this thing to a high place and looks far away, what other prey can escape His Highness's eyes?"
Liang Dong finally put down the telescope and asked Lu Fang, "What do you usually use this thing for?"
Lu Fang showed a look that showed that you and I both understand, and said: "Grassmen also use it for hunting."
The two guys seemed to have some unspoken resonance at this moment.
Liang Dong patted Lu Fang on the shoulder and said, "You are thoughtful. I quite like this gift. What are you preparing for my sister?"
Lu Fang took out the glass bottle and said, "This thing was also bought by ordinary people from overseas merchants. It is overseas flower dew, which is thousands of times better than our Dayu flower dew."
"Flower dew?"
Liang Dong sneered, "Do you know what kind of toilet water my sister uses on weekdays?"
"Rose Dew!"
He said with pride: "The emperor is destined to reward my sister with a bottle of the rose dew that the Dashi Kingdom pays as tribute every year. How dare you give this to my sister?"
"This thing must not be under the rose dew."
Lu Fang was a little surprised that Liang Siqi was so favored in front of the emperor, but he was still confident enough and said: "Your Highness, you might as well bring this thing to the princess for trial use."
Liang Dong curled his lips, "What's the name of this flower dew?"
Lu Fang said: "The overseas traveling merchants did not name him, but the common people named him Yaotailu."
"Yao Tailu..."
Liang Dong weighed the glass bottle in his hand, "Okay, because you are considerate, I will bring it to my sister to have a look. But if you are exaggerating, let's see how I deal with you."
Lu Fang stopped talking.
Liang Dong walked towards the courtyard.
He returned to the door, waved his hand, "Let's go back home."
The martial artists who were still standing in the courtyard turned around.
Liu Mao was stunned and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, are you going back now?"
Although Liang Dong was not brought here by him, he only came here because he went to report the news. He followed him just to see what would happen to Lu Liang and Lu Fang, but he never expected that Liang Dong was about to leave.
What about the one who promised to cause trouble?
Liang Dong looked at him sideways and said, "What's the matter? Do you have anything else to do?"
Liu Mao bowed, "No, no."
I couldn't stop complaining in my heart.
You have to leave, what the hell can I do?
A group of people left Luliang's courtyard in such a mighty manner.
Lu Liang went straight to the gate of the government office, then hurried back and came to Lu Fang, "Erlang, what did he tell you?"
Lu Fang said: "Just ask me to promise the princess three things."
"Three things? What things?"
"I don't know. He didn't say anything. He just told me to wait for orders at any time."
Lu Liang was even more confused, "How can the princess be of use to you?"
Lu Fang said angrily: "Ask me, and I'll ask who's going. Just have fun secretly. It's good that you're not being dragged to the parade. You don't care about so much."
Lu Liang laughed heartily, "But it's all thanks to you, Erlang, otherwise, brother, I might not be able to escape this time."
Lu Fang also laughed, "Then give me some of the gold ingots hidden in your room?"
Lu Liang was wary, "This can't happen. You said you would never ask me for money again. And didn't you just get two thousand taels from Wang Ye?"
"whispering sound!"
Lu Fang squinted at him, "Look at how stingy you are. I'm just teasing you. Keep your money for marrying your wife. I won't be able to spend all my money in the future."
After saying that, regardless of Lu Liang's surprise and doubts, he went to the dining room to eat.
…
On the other side, Liang Dong did not rush back to Tanzhou. Instead, he took the martial artist and the two mysterious-looking old men to a restaurant in Ningyuan County for dinner.
Liu Mao was close to the waterfront, and he was lucky enough to sit at the same table as Liang Dong with a shy face.
As soon as he sat down, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "His Royal Highness, that Lu Liang is really rude. He has already arrived at the hotel, but he didn't even arrange a meal for you."
Liang Dong glanced at him and suddenly kicked Liu Mao to the ground, "You son of a bitch, it's your turn to make irresponsible remarks in front of my prince. How dare you borrow my prince's sword?"
"Xiaguan deserves to die! Xiaguan deserves to die!"
Liu Mao was so frightened that he turned pale and hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, kowtow and begged for mercy.
Only then did he realize that Liang Dong was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
Also, can the crown prince of Prince Rong's Mansion be a simple person?
It's his misfortune.
It was not until evening that Liang Dong returned to Prince Rong's Mansion.
Liu Mao followed his team and fled in despair as soon as they entered Tanzhou City.
"His Royal Highness!"
"His Royal Highness!"
Prince Rong's Mansion is infinitely more magnificent and luxurious than the Ningyuan County Government Office. It is built close to a mountain and is splendid everywhere.
This entire mountain belongs to Prince Rong's Mansion.
There are countless pavilions and waterside pavilions inside.
There are also many servants in the house.
Liang Dong was walking in the palace with the two old men. The servants passed by and bowed to him one after another.
Liang Dong mostly ignored her. He only nodded slightly when he saw the handsome maid. Occasionally, with a smile on his face, he stretched out his dirty hands and pinched them twice.
The maid is just shy.
Until a certain hall deep in the palace, two old men stopped outside.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a beautiful lady watering the flowers and plants. She was dressed elegantly, without any makeup, and her black hair hung down to her waist.
It was Liang Siqi, Princess Rongwang.
Liang Dong immediately ran over and shouted shyly, "Sister."
"I'm back?"
Liang Siqi turned back with a smile and gently put down the kettle, "How?"
Liang Dong gave a thumbs up, "Sister, you are really good at predicting things. I said I wanted to parade Lu Liang through the streets, and Lu Fang was indeed willing to take the punishment on his behalf."
Liang Siqi brushed a few messy black hairs around her ears, "Then he agrees to our conditions?"
"accepted."
Liang Dong nodded vigorously and then couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what do you want this guy to do? Although he can do a few poems, is he worthy of your special treatment? You can't be..."
Liang Siqi glared at him gently, but her crystal earlobes turned a little red. She just shook her head and said softly: "You don't understand."
Liang Dong said: "How can I understand if you don't even tell me?"
Liang Siqi picked up the kettle again and turned back to water the flowers, "You don't need to know these."
After speaking, he asked again: "By the way, how is the matter that I asked you to inquire about?"
"Inquiry."
Liang Dong said with some dissatisfaction: "Since that day you and I left Ningyuan County, this boy has no longer hidden his poetic talent. Just after he was put down from the tree, he went to Zuihualou, a brothel in Ningyuan County, and happened to bump into it.
A scholar said that he had bought his poems, and he immediately wrote two poems to prove his poetic talent. Later, he went to the street and set up a poetry contest, which made all the Ningyuan scholars unable to lift their heads."
"Gone?"
"No. Just these two things, I haven't heard anything else."
"Where's the poem?"
Liang Dong took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "It's all written on it!"
Liang Siqi put down the kettle again and took the paper. She walked to the yard and sat down at the stone table under the pavilion and opened it.
Gradually, a look of surprise appeared in her bright eyes, which became more and more intense.
"The clouds think of the clothes, the flowers think of the face, the wind blows the sill and the dew is thick..."
She read the poem softly, as if mumbling to herself.
On the paper are several poems that Lu Fang read at Zuihua Tower and Shi Lei.
Li Bai's "Qingping Diao", "Resentment", "Quiet Night Thoughts", Han Yu's "Spring Snow", and Li Shen's "Compassion for the Farmers".
Liang Dong watched Liang Siqi reciting poems from the side and did not dare to disturb her. It was not until Liang Siqi raised her head that he said again: "Sister, Lu Fang also asked me to bring you a gift. He said he wanted to apologize to you."
"Apologise to me?"
Liang Siqi was slightly surprised, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly, "What could he have put in your eyes? If it were ordinary, I'd be afraid that you would smash it on the spot, right?"
"hey-hey."
Liang Dong scratched his head and said, "Sister, you understand me. The things this guy sent are really new, and they don't even exist in our palace."
With that said, he took out the glass bottle and put it on the table.
Liang Siqi asked: "What?"
Liang Dong said: "Hua Lu. The boy said he bought it from an overseas traveling merchant. He named it Yaotai Lu."
"Yao Tailu..."
Liang Siqi murmured softly, took the glass bottle into her hand, pulled out the cork, put it in front of her nose, smelled it, and then closed it again.
Then he said: "The fragrance is mellow and long-lasting, it is indeed extraordinary. Even compared to rose dew, I'm afraid it is much better."
After saying that, he looked at Liang Dong who was smiling naively next to him and said, "You also took advantage of him, right?"
Liang Dong didn't hide anything, but he didn't want to take out the telescope. He only said: "I did collect his things. What kind of telescope is an overseas thing? But it is definitely not as good as your perfume."
Liang Siqi didn't ask him for it, she just waved her hand and said, "Well, go ahead!"
"Okay!"
Liang Dong walked out in a hurry.
Not long after that, on the top of a main hall somewhere in Prince Rong's Mansion.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was gorgeously dressed, stood in the wind, holding binoculars in both hands and looking at the street. From time to time, he let out a mean laugh from his mouth.
Liang Siqi was sitting in the pavilion, looking at the glass bottle on the table with a complicated expression.
"Accompanied by a master, you are full of talents and knowledge, and you can even get rare things that are not even available in the palace, but you have kept a low profile for more than ten years... Who are you?"
